In Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL, the search giant decided to develop the idea of Nexus 6P, which had a glass insert on the back. In the “pixels” it has grown noticeably in size and occupies almost half of the rear panel on the metal casing. This decision is very controversial, but at the same time – non-trivial. Also, Google left on the back of the “self-taught” fingerprint scanner, which eventually starts to work faster and more accurately. At the bottom there is a universal USB Type-C connector, and on each side there are slots for the speaker and a microphone. 3.5-mm audio jack for headphones Google decided not to remove and left it on the top. There is nothing interesting in the design of new products.
Google claims that Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL take a snapshot instantly with zero shutter release delay, which allows you to shoot fast moving objects, taking sharp pictures. The popular resource DxOMark delivered the camera Pixel and Pixel XL 89 points, which is the highest result to date.

Pixel 2 Camera
Since Pixel and Pixel XL were the first smartphones that are positioned as Google products, the company has prepared for them several exclusive functions. The devices are running a new version of the operating system Android 8.0 Oreo, but instead of the old launcher Google Start they installed Pixel Launcher with a new user interface, round application icons and Launcher Shortcuts, which allows you to call the shortcut menu for quick access to various functions.
A special emphasis in smartphones was made on software and services. Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL come with a new Pixel Launcher and become the first smartphones with the new Google Assistant digital assistant. It completely replaced Google Now and is called up by long pressing the “Home” button. Google Photos on Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL allows you to store photos and videos in their original capacity for free in an unlimited amount.
